Support For China'S Epidemic With Masks And Chartered Goods Across The Sea

Under normal circumstances, masks have little chance to get on the plane. Under the outbreak of the outbreak, masks were also honored to board the plane and cross the sea just to support the epidemic in China. Masks and protective clothing and other substances have become very scarce products in the outbreak of the disease. Overseas has become a key force to fill the material gap caused by the sudden outbreak, and masks also float across the sea to supply Wuhan.

During the Spring Festival, domestic protective clothing production capacity was 13 thousand sets per day, while the average daily demand in Hubei alone reached 100 thousand sets. A total of 870 million pieces of imported epidemic prevention and control materials were collected and valued at 2 billion 840 million yuan, including 730 million respirators, 7 million 410 thousand protective clothing, 1 million 540 thousand pairs of goggles, 1 million 530 thousand pieces of disinfectants, 2 million 220 thousand medicines and 1 million 340 thousand medical devices.

Since the outbreak of the new pneumonia epidemic, overseas Chinese and groups, domestic enterprises, governments and even individuals have joined the procurement force. So the important question is how such a huge medical material should be transported back to China in the shortest possible time.

Yang Yang, chairman of San Fu Lin, a real estate, education and consulting business, bought 5 million 600 thousand medical supplies, including 50 thousand masks for the first shipment.

In February 13th, 2 million 600 thousand 3M surgical masks for procurement were successfully boarded on the plane, but they were also trapped in the warehouse for more than 10 days. The medical materials prepared were also experiencing difficulties when they left the customs. Pakistan issued export ban on masks at various ports. The company tried every means to use the "forces of the military, chambers of Commerce and embassies" before taking the approval of the exit. But the government has temporarily arranged that the masks were finally unloaded and still lie in the warehouse. This experience is inevitable for all overseas Chinese, enterprises and institutions to rush goods into China.

As a big trading country, China imported and exported 31 trillion and 540 billion yuan in 2019, of which 17 trillion and 230 billion yuan was exported and 14 trillion and 310 billion yuan was imported. The huge cross-border logistics network is China's support as a trading power. The number of international freight forwarders registered by the Ministry of commerce is 6.47. How to respond in a short time and how to mobilize global goods, funds and transport capacity is the test of the epidemic to cross-border logistics industry.

On ordinary days, masks can't fly. But at this very moment, the shortage of protective materials is obviously unable to take slow shipping, otherwise it will lose its meaning. When the work is resumed, the respirator is hard to find. Now there are good news from home, and domestic masks are being reopened.
